Our latest innovation is an all metal treatment cabinet that
is powder coated to look like natural wood. Unlike wood
laminate, it’s an ideal product for treatment and surgery
rooms where non-porous, durable equipment is needed.
It’s built to stand the test of time. It’s a game changer.
It’s the TriStar Difference.
The new LOOK of metal.
